AbstractThe 14-Week Digital Designer will offer a hands-on exploration of graphic design methods and tools, considering ways of quickly incorporating them into a project and “hacking” them for novel approaches. The book will serve as a companion to emerging designers navigating career paths. Allowing designers to work seamlessly across media, The 14-Week Digital Designer will make what is unfamiliar in different design disciplines more accessible. Armed with a set of procedural building blocks, readers will afterward be familiarized with new practices that can prove highly useful. Further, familiar practices can be repurposed to have new or lesser-known uses, making them novel once again and all the more useful. In this way—and because the work surveys a variety of different design disciplines and as many tools—this text will serve as both a primer for young designers and a handbook for proficient users.
